Insurance & Payment
Insurance:
In the Fall of 2026, this office will begin to accept a select group of insurance plans. To see if this provider is in-network for a particular insurance plan hit the “Get Started” link above and on the next screen select “Insurance”.
Clients using their out-of-network insurance plan benefits make payment at the time of services (as noted below) and are sent an itemized monthly statement/”super bill” the month following the service month. Clients mail these statements (within the time frame allowed by their plan) to their insurance company for the any reimbursement amount allowed under their specific benefits plan. (*link at bottom of page)
ONLY Psychotherapy sessions may be provided a monthly Insurance Statement (‘Super Bill’). *Please note that missed/no show appointments are consequently the responsibility of the client. Missed appointments are not reimbursed or paid for by the insurance company; in network or out of network. These are paid in full by the client.
Super-bills (statements for out of network insurance partial reimbursement) must be requested at the first session and will not be provided retrospectively, nor for any other service types not provided. Keeping up with your receipts and statements is your responsibility. You may go into your online client profile within our EHR website and print them manually.
*****************
All services are provided by seasoned, trained and experienced professionals. As such, we do not offer discounts, sliding scale, roll-over credits or other rate reductions or adjustments.
